Looking forward to see how open will the Dream Car collection be using points. One of the annoying things about Hertz is they only allow basic and boring car reservations in Europe when using points. So far was lucky to get good upgrades on the spot but it’s an unnecessary gamble each time. Will be good to be able to book some nice cars in advance.

My major beef is that they changes the rules retrospectively (as the email was received 10 January, with the changes made effective 1 January).

using the word "updating" is merely Marketing trying to make it appear positive (it is for them), when in fact that is a massive jump in qualification requirements. A 70% increase in rentals and 60% in spend.

I've also factored in savings for taxis to / from LGW / LHR for leisure trips too (which also means the car would be left either sitting at home or sitting in the airport carpark) and it all stacks up for me, especially when…

Flying to US in Sep with family and will have lots of luggage. I'm looking to hire a private car (SUV) to go from LAX to Anaheim. Any suggestions from people who have recently done this would be appreciated. Rode in a big SUV from NYC to Times Square a decade or so ago and it was great fun. Just weighing up the Uber option and cost vs not…

Yep they pulled the same stunt previously at Manchester, and tried it once in Thailand.
That said, I've had no real problems with Hertz, and continue to rent from them in Thailand.…
